The Downtown Runners and Walkers is the popular running/walking group. Each Tuesday - rain or shine - 20 to 40 people ranging in abilities from seasoned marathoners to beginning walkers meet at a different metro Detroit site. After route instructions, people take off on a course of four to eight miles. After the run or walk, everyone meets for food, drink and the most interesting conversations. Membership is free.

Cinco no de Mayo

Due to prior commitments and not being fond of Mexican food, I decided to just visit the troops before they embarked on their evening run. I was pleasantly surprised to see everyone decked out in his or her summer running attire. Since no one brought maps for the route, we made it a simple out and back course to ensure that everyone returned without getting lost. I haven’t heard anything bad a bout the evening, so I’m going to assume everything was wonderful. :-0
